Abstract: An analysis device including a flow channel member, a suction mechanism, and a measurement unit. The flow channel member includes a flow channel; The suction mechanism is connected to a first end of the flow channel member and is configured to introduce a liquid sample from a second end of the flow channel member to the flow channel and hold the liquid sample between fluid layers in a part of the flow channel. The measurement unit includes a light irradiation unit a light reception unit configured to receive light from the part of the flow channel and the contents of the part of the flow channel when irradiated by the light irradiation unit. The measurement unit includes an aperture member to limit light from the light irradiation unit and includes an opening having an opening width shorter than the length of the part of the flow channel.

Abstract: An analysis device 1 is provided with: a flow channel 12c; a suction mechanism connected to one end of the flow channel, the suction mechanism being configured to introduce a trace amount of a liquid sample L from the other end of the flow channel 12c into an inside of the flow channel 12c and hold the liquid sample L in a part of the flow channel 12c; and a measurement unit 40 configured such that a light irradiation unit 41 for irradiating the liquid sample L held by the part of the flow channel member 12 with light and a light reception unit for receiving the light from the liquid sample L are disposed around the liquid sample L. The measurement unit 40 is provided with an aperture member 46 to limit the light directed from the light irradiation unit 41 toward the liquid sample L, the aperture member 46 including an opening having an opening width L2 shorter than a liquid length L1 of the liquid sample L held by the flow channel 12c in the flow channel 12c.

Abstract: A measuring apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a support plate and an optical sensor. The support plate has an upper surface on a central portion of which an object is to be mounted, and is rotatable about an axis of rotation extending vertically from the central portion. The optical sensor is disposed above the support plate, and has a light-emitting element configured to irradiate the object with light and a light-receiving element configured to receive reflection light reflected from the object.
